EstateShield 10 is a Modified Single Premium Deferred Index Annuity. This annuity is tax-deferred, which means taxes are not paid on the interest it earns until any distribution occurs. Annuity contracts are long-term in nature and are not meant to be used for money one would anticipate needing in the short-term.

Please note the LIBR with Wellbeing Benefit and Enhanced Death Benefit rider is inbuilt into this product.

Enhanced Benefit

This rider provides both a qualified nursing care benefit and terminal illness benefit. After the first contract year, a one-time free withdrawal of up to 100% of the contract value is allowed if 1) the owner is confined to a qualified nursing care facility for a minimum of 90 days and confinement begins after the contract issue date; OR 2) the owner is diagnosed with a terminal illness after the contract is issued. Written proof is required. Included automatically for all ages for EstateShield 10.

Premium Notes

Minimum Premium:
$5,000
Maximum Premium:
40-69: $1,500,000
70-75: $1,000,000
Contract owners must choose how to allocate the initial premium. Additional premium payments can be made during the first contract year subject to our approval. Additional premiums are automatically allocated to the Fixed Interest Strategy and may be subject to different rates. The contract values may be reallocated between strategies on the contract anniversary, subject to a minimum allocation value of $1,000 each.

Note: TSP funds have to be rolled into an IRA.

Withdrawal Provisions

Withdrawals
  • Withdrawals can be made from the annuity contract any time before the maturity date of the contract. Free withdrawals of up to 10% of the total premiums paid are allowed each contract year, beginning in year two.  
  • Withdrawal charges will apply to withdrawals taken in excess of the free withdrawal amount. Any withdrawal from the contract will result in a reduction of the contract values. 
  • Systematic Withdrawal of interest only from the Fixed Value, available after 30 days.
